my sister has just started TTC. She is quite over weight (about 18 stone ish) and so far into her 33 day cycle she has not had a +OPK. (She is about CD21 at the mo)
if she is not actually ovulating, and goes to the doctor will they do the 21 day bloods on her or will they just tell her to go away and come back when she has lost some weight?
she is 37 and so every month is precious. This would be her first baby.
I am just wondering what everyone elses experiences were of being overweight and getting help to conceive
I have told her all the positive things, like she might just be having a longer cycle this month, or might ovulate every 2nd month etc etc, but I just want to be prepared to help her if she goes to the docs and gets told she wont be helped until she loses the weight. (which is as usual the doctors answer to every bloody health problem).
